Not according to Kompany. He says Croatia are favourites, but that this is a really talented side. Thibaut Courtois looks to have secured the goalkeeping position now. Not convinced by the striking options though.

Agreed, but compared with the other qualifiers the always had 1 or 2 truely bad players out there. Look at the kind of clubs they play for now, only a Spurs here and there but other then that, only topclubs. I believe their combined transfervalue is only behind Spain and Krautistan.

Lukaku? Wilmots said that players had to be playing first team football to play. I asked him about Lukaku when they played England. He said that he would talk to him and then Lukaku leaves - he had no choice. He was never going to get a look in at Chelsea. Not convinced by Lukaku - very bad move for him to Chelsea. Not even regular starter at WBA. Not at all sure about his striking ability. If not him up front, then who?

Of course it's a bad move by Lukaku, same as with De Bruyne(though he is actually talented) But reality is such players get loaned out to the West Bromwiches and Werder Bremens of this world.

Now I dont really rate Lukaku, but I think he can be rather decent for the EPL. Benteke is an even lighter version. But as finisher they should go for Vossen. But their most talented forward remains Mirellas imo. They have plenty of options upfront.
